Does Massaging The Restylane Injection Site Avoid Nerve Damage?
i had restylane injected under my eyes and after the first day my upper right lip became numb and tingling. I also have lumps that are tender to the touch after 5 datys. I returned to the doctor on day 3 and he said i need to message the filler and it probably got into the nerve area below my eye. My question is how long should i let this go on before I become concerned about permanent nerve damage? Will messaging relieve this or should i have it dissolved? Is this a common problem?

Hi,
Cannot say in your particular case AND if the body of the nerve is not killed but only the outgrowths, then repair usually occurs but may take months. The repair might not be complete and could give odd or painful sensations. Massaging is not generally helpful.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
